I've realized I most respect people who:
20) use eye contact when having a conversation
19) live uncomfortably. This is not to say that they sell everything and sleep on the street with a sleeping bag. I'm saying, people who get out there and serve. And do dirty work for free. And go on the streets and talk to gangsters. And who volunteer at a jail. And foster an abused child.
18) are not passive-aggressive. biggest pet peeve ever.
17) are thankful
16) can actually live in Louisiana
15) are consist in their thinking, in their actions, and in their beliefs. Sounds simple. But it is incredibly hard to find.
14) have a dry wit. And use it well.
13) run from melancholy complacency
12) are not afraid to confront with the intent TO MAKE IT RIGHT. This includes apologizing
11) shake hands with confidence
10) feverishly push past their weaknesses
9) have a love for reading
8) can exegetically explain Scripture
7) treat customer service, their waiter, their grocery clerk with dignity
6) don’t rely on their parents for complete stability emotionally and financially
5) puts themselves into counseling (few submit to the fact that they need this. even fewer get in it.)
4) have goals
3) are aware of where they struggle and can speak openly about it
2) don’t take themselves too seriously
1) are on to something
